If we are allowed to celebrate femininity, then we are allowed to celebrate masculinity. The term "toxic masculinity" is outrageous and disgusting. No amount of masculinity is toxic to anyone. There is no amount that suddenly kills or hurts anyone. It's Orwellian double speak and an attack on men.

The term "Toxic masculinity", was originally from the predecessors to today's MRAs, back in the 70's. But back then, it was used to refer to conceptions of masculine behavior that were toxic, not masculinity per se(for example, the idea, common today, that it's somehow masculine to betray a loyal friend just for a chance at sex). Feminists took the term, and started to use it to imply that masculinity itself was toxic, which is how everyone uses it today.

As though women never do that.
